Read this: https://www.linux.com/blog/learn-how-contribute-linux-kernel-take-eudyptula-challenge Don't get to concerned with the imaginary prerequisites people on the internet set, especially for programming. Hell, in game dev, people make it sound like you need be adding new C++ language features ...

Alright, I thought of doing C++/SDL/OpenGL for long time (idk for what reason), but I don't want to be a game developer. I've never wanted to. I started game dev because I knew I needed experience with "the tools". But to be honest, I've got everything I needed, I'm not going to progress w...

Glbinding
GLee
GLEW
GLUT
GLFW
GL3W
GLSL
etc.

So many GL's.... How are they different from each other? Which are the most used ones and why? I tried researching it myself but got nowhere with finding an answer.

What if I look at someone else's code? I remember almost a year ago I visited a website where people share their projects in the language they are native at. Can't remember the website.. Or what if I participate in open source projects? I have no idea how that works, what is required and what to do,...

I posted my thoughts on assembly in this thread: http://forums.elysianshadows.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9118 . I will re-iterate here: Ketman interpreter is *by far* the greatest assembly learning tool in existence. The tutorial is essentially teaching 16-bit real mode assembly but yes, the conce...

That seems like a gross over-simplification of a rather complex discussion. Though I would be interested in reading whatever material led you to believe that either of those languages are "faster" or "more simple" as a general-purpose language. Not in your lifetime. Well, I supp...

Recently I've been doing a research on how D and Rust are going to surpass and replace C++, but since I'm not that much into programming, I had to ask people more experienced than me. And from my research I've gathered this : D and Rust are just like C++, just faster and a lot more simple. -So, when...

So, yesterday after I posted my reply, I spent atleast an hour or more trying to figure out what I was missing, somehow I figured it out, but another error popped up xD.. So I think I should delete the whole thing and start all over again.. :D It's not a big loss, 60 lines of code for the first file...

Right now I'm learning Python network programming and I'm reading a book "Foundations of Python Network Programming", 2nd edition. I kind of like it. I always thought it would be fun to write some sort of server/client application where a bunch of people write their own client in any lang...

Thanks for the responses, you guys are actually answering my questions and even giving me info about other things. Usually, in my country if you ask a question in a forum, everyone calls you an idiot, no matter what question you ask, even when their knowledge is not far away from mine... That' just...

No probs, I like detailed responses like yours, if you just rearranged my list without explaining why you think it should be like this, then it wouldn't be called learning. For now, I don't have any touch with the back-end, I know CSS, HTML and some basic jQuery, but I'm interested in back-end aswel...

It's great to see how passionate you are about this :) Take one step back and ask yourself what you actually want to DO . Then go ahead and DO IT . Everytime you encounter a problem you come back here and ask us for advice, search on the internet or try to find advice in a book. This is the only wa...

Its been a long time since I asked a question in this forum. I've completely abondoned Java(its shit) and I'm already working on a plan on how and what to learn. Python, SQL and jQuery were first on my list of languages, I already started with Python and SQL after that I will probably focus on PHP o...

I don't know which language/api you're using but you should be doing something like this: When save is clicked open file for writing get text from the text area write the string to the file close the file Yes, but how exactly to save it after the first time it's being closed? I don't want to save i...
